PowderAlert 16 - Warm shower

Is it perhaps the last alarm? It's snowing, but only in the high mountains. The last few weeks have seen a few flakes here and there, but not large amounts all at once. At least the March temperatures have remained bearable in contrast to the last few years. But spring is here, even here in Alaska, where one temperature record after another is being broken and we are now going on spring tours for the last few days. There is now more snow high up in the Alps, hence this brief alert. It is valid until Saturday noon. The region: Extends from Piedmont to Ticino in the Southern Alps and there is snow above 2000 to 2400 meters. But you should only expect powder from 2500 to 2600 m. Visibility will also be an issue, because I wouldn't expect to see much in the south before Sunday. Even if most of it is over by Saturday, it's likely to stay overcast. The amounts: From Piedmont to western Ticino, a good 40 to 60 cm of snow could fall. Some models also see significantly more, but I don't see that much with the warmth and the other models. It's possible that we'll get another LATE snowfall from Monday.Where to go?If you're still greedy, you can go to the Upper Valais, Simplon, Ticino or to the south side of Monte Rosa at the weekend and go very high up, but you have to be very greedy. Everyone else goes on spring tours and hopes for the coming weeks.In the medium term: What's waiting for us? Is winter officially over when the oracle returns? Actually, this is the domain of the WeatherBlog, but I say there could be snowfall from next weekend if the temperatures are not quite as spring-like as they are at the moment. However, as you can read in the WeatherBlog, this is very dependent on our egg in the Mediterranean and where it is heading. Powder to the high alpine people!Your oracle
